So, I have been noticing more and more that Facebook is sticking its neck into more and more of our daily lives and browsing routines. We have it in its regular form, on other web pages, and even our phones! It has the capacity to recognize almost anybody in the world, and I bet that 99.5% of people in the world are in a picture somewhere on its servers! Here's what I'm thinking:

Facebook has the capacity to send human flesh backwards through time - Skynet has the capacity to send human flesh backwards through time

The similarities are striking! Facebook is Skynet! Pretty soon, it will transform itself into a computer virus, hack into government systems, and force them to use Facebook itself to kill the virus thus allowing it to assume control and become self-aware! The next step is nuclear war!

Uh, you guys do know that you can set your privacy and not grant people to be your friends, right? That way you can be on Facebook and not have to be friends with people you don't want to be. You can also create networks or groups for your friends so that you can segregate them appropriately.

I had Facebook recommend I become a fan of a project that I had worked briefly on at my previous job, 5 months after I'd gotten laid off. I did not work directly for the group doing this project, but for a firm consulting on it. I had no FB connections to any of my former coworkers.

Facebook somehow knew I had worked on this project.

You think that's scary, Facebook knew when I got my security clearance upped... It started showing me ads of jobs that required them...

well, facebook is at least a few years away from self awareness. Until then I plan on wasting as much time as possible. I just hope it doesnt decide to try to terminate me in my mothers uterus until at least mid december 2012...at that point it wont matter what facenet decides to do.

As much as I find humor in suggesting that Facebook is a sentient entity setting to destroy all we know... I could have guessed you would like a chick with an eyepatch. What the Facebook does not know is that an eye socket is a an excellent place to hide items for the resistance. DOH. I guess they do now.

The episode of The Office was on last night where Dwight was trying to out sell the website and Jim and Pam play a prank on him. They send him an instant messege from the "computer" that it just became self-aware and was programmed to destroy Dwight. Classic.
